Samsung LNT4661 issue - picture mode reverts to dynamic? This just started the other day. I set the P. Mode to 'Movie' at night to watch TV or the PS3. After about 30-45 minutes the TV just switches to 'Dynamic.' I can manually change back to 'Movie' but it'll just switch back. Another peculiarity is that it goes back to the *default* 'Movie' mode. I'll change a few settings like the Backlight and Color Tone, but when the TV flips back to 'Dynamic' then those settings are lost and it returns to the factory settings.It doesn't appear that anything else resets -- the time, custom input labels, etc. are all still there.Anyone seen anything like this?

Yes, that is the solution. It is easy.To change the "Shop Mode." Use the remote control.First, set the input to "TV". Then go to "Setup" menu and select "Plug and Play". Here you can change the shop mode.

N. Kamau - I have the same problem with my LNT4661. It starts making clicking sounds when I turn on the TV. The TV does not come to life until ferw minutes.Can you please post the link to the online forum article where you found the repair solution?

Guy's,I need a little advice. I know nothing about LCD TV's. I'm moving into a house and ran into a guy that wants to sell a Samsung 40" 4061. The TV has been siting in his bedroom and is hardly used as he watches a bigger set in the living room. The set looks and works great and he's asking $500 for it. I think the set is several years old. Does anyone out there have any advice on buying this?Anything to look for? Is this a good price on a set with prices coming down this Christmas?Thanks for any input,Rudy

I bought a similar Samsung and also thought I was getting a 60 hz picture but in fact, by default it uses the 120 hz. The 60 hz that is shown (I don't recall where that setting is shown) is misleading and does not represent the actual 120 hz that the TV uses by default. Nothing to turn on, you are getting 120 hz. Samsung should be more clear about this but I did track down the issue on their website.

yeah dont get this tv my friends has it. the problem with it is fuzzy picture. i did a comparison with my own 1080p Lns-4095d samsung tv. Even though my tv is relatively older it didnt have fuzzy pic. Also note that both were using hdmi cable. however the LN-T5265F did not want to swtich to a 1080p resolution. everytime we did it got static. also note that all tests were done using a ps3. I recommned a Samsung however not this one.

Thanks for your reply. It happens to us when we go from non HD to HD and from HD to HD. Very annoying. We've dropped back to using the component cables, but I sure would like to use the HDMI. I was hesitant about complaining to Samsung, since our cable is so sketchy, but now I think I will.

I have a very similar problem with my PS3 connecting to my Sony 46" LCD (Z Series). I have been testing the conditions and doing a complete system reset on the PS3 always takes care of the issue, but takes some time to redo all settings. I have been looking for answers on the various forums without luck. Also, turning on and off both the TV and PS3 takes care of the issue without doing the reset. I have found out that having everything working fine if I turn off the TV only and back on, the sound is gone. I believe is a decoding issue the TV has, for some reason if the TV starts after the PS3 it does not recognize the HDMI audio source. I know this does not cover your ONKYO issue but gives you a start. (I have downloaded the latest 3.10 update for PS3 and have not seen any problems just yet (for 3 days) but I am not very confident since I have been updating both the TV and PS3 constantly. I am considering upgrading my old 5.1 Kenwood A/V Receiver just to take care of this issue.

I'm using game mode as well for gaming & it looks good, had to tweak the color saturation some though. I will be trying standard on my blu-ray input hopefully in the next few days, im hoping it works. I thought i had tried that but i honestly dont remember now if i did or not. Thanks for your input on your experience. I would have sent it back by now if I had not run across this post.

Evidently unplugging the TV reboots the software, and sets the TV back to its initial factory settings. I do the same thing with my Sony 3D player from time to time since it sometimes pauses briefly while watching a movie and it can be fixed by unplugging it.

I don't know but the screen started going dark recently and there seemed to be no way to fix it (we tried the Phillips' website and they directed us to a sketchy TV repair business). The warranty had expired. Finally gave up a replaced it with Samsung.

Yes, I have had it change when viewing Netflix, and the TV set on Standard. I changed it to Pro 1 (my own calibration), and it is much better however it still changes with Netflix (slightly darker). I've not noticed it with anything else. Not a problem for me, I'm guessing it is Netflix, not the P60VT60.

You seem to have chosen "display model/store" mode when you first turned on your set, it reverts back to defaults every 10 minutes or so in that mode. Recommend that you check your manual, I believe there is a way to adjust that. also, check avsforum for correct settings for this display (check the 50" thread, the two sets are basically identical, so most activity is there). Found it, it is in the setup menu. good luck.

Called Samsung but they weren't helpful....without an extended warranty, I'm out of luck. Only bright spot: It hasn't gotten worse. Now we're in the habit of turning on the TV, leaving for half an hour, and then coming back to it. It usually resolves by then...usually. But it's a big pain. Definitely never buying another Samsung. Let me know if you hear anything.

I had the same thing happen to my Samsung LN40A650 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV. THANK GOD, I have 6 days of warranty left. I have got the run around from Samsung reps. After a weeks worth of phone calls, I was assured that I will get my TV worked on under warranty. May be that this model is faulty. They should give us a hassle when we shell out mega bucks for these TVs, then they may would learn a bit of respect for the customer.

Take my advice and stay away. It seems to be a hit or miss with the 1600. Mine unfortunately was a miss. Lots of quality control issues for Samsung. Amazon had an alert flag on the player right after I bought mine (figures) that they were looking into the recent complaints. I see now the alert flag is off. Never did play any blu movies. Support from overseas said that the movies were too new and I would have to wait for a firmware update. Sent it back the next day and got a Sony D360 which works great. Would really liked to have the Samsung because my TV is one and it is awsome. Oh well guess I'll just have to keep another remote around. Take my advice and stay away.

I'm not sure if I can post links on Amazon forums, but here is an in-depth review with some suggested settings from the Ultimateavmag.com site. http://www.ultimateavmag.com/rearprojectiontvs/807sam5687/index5.htmlBe sure to also check out the CNET reviews and rating.Hope to see my Samsung arrive by the end of the week.

Some TVs don't allow going into the PlugNPlay menu. According to Samsung chat support, try pressing volume button on TV, then hold MENU for about 7 seconds. The word Dynamic should show up n the screen. If you press Info, the ShopMode will disappear.

This TV has different "Scene" settings which it selects based on the input type. You can also change them by the remote control. I find all of them to look dark and have a color cast except for the "standard" one.

It's the AutoMotion technology. AutoMotion, regardless of how Samsung tries to sell it, is merely an effect and does not produce "true" 120Hz technology. It makes things look artificial. I always say it makes everything you watch look like a cheap soap-opera that was shot on video. Solution: turn off the AutoMotion permanently. And tweak your picture settings. Don't leave it on the factory Dynamic Mode setting. Seriously, this TV looks so much better when you customize your settings and turn off the AutoMotion.
